The fact that people think good of you is good news for you, and you should make this a motivation to increase your diligence in obedience, and ensure that your inner self is like your outer self, or even better. Beware of abandoning good deeds for fear of showing off, as that is what Satan desires. You must strive to rid yourself of evil whispers. To know how to measure faith, please refer to no. 113631.
